To all of the authors below who have disparaging opinions on the UX/UI experience and or the download ability. It’s a volunteer project for a reason. If you have such grand ideas and abilities put your money where your fingers are and fucking sign up.

A lot of the hate GIMP gets is people coming from Photoshop expecting it to work like Photoshop. In fact that's true for a lot of Adobe-like open source projects. That's why "industry standards" are dangerous and really only exist to keep one company rich.

My hate comes from wanting it to work like LView Pro. There's no Linux image manipulation program that comes close to meeting the standard they set in 2001.

So true for all FOSS projects, the more successful they become the more new users expect a customer service dept.

God forbid people offer feedback.

Helpful Feedback is fine. As the OP said there is no need for disparaging feedback.

Declaring that the only legitimate feedback comes from people who are also capable of doing the work is not a good way to solicit constructive feedback.

No one said that though.
